I think I am in for a rough ride this week with my son, he hates being back home and badly missing London. Yesterday, I got in from work and all he had done was laze around in bed all day, he hadn't even had a shower. By the evening, he was moaning about wanting to go out, of course, in London this isn't a problem, but in Sittingbourne there isn't anything open apart from Asda. A shouting match followed because my Mum wouldn't drive him down there. I know it sounds bad, but if he hates being here that much, he should just go back to London early.

Anyway, to relax after all the stress, I sat and made a Christmas card ready for next year. The digital stamp is from Sheri Baldy and it has been coloured using Copics and ProMarkers.

I hope everyone had a great Christmas. For as long as I can remember, if Christmas Day or Boxing Day fell on a weekend day, you had an extra Bank Holiday, unfortunately, the company I work for doesn't like to honour this Bank Holiday, so it was back to work for me today.

Anyway, this is the first card I have made for the last couple of days. I have gone with a Birthday card in neutral colours. The digital stamp is called Poppies Bunch from Sami Stamps and it has been coloured using ProMarkers.

Well I have spent the afternoon in an MRI scanning machine to see if I have another disc going in my back. I can't believe how hard it is to lay still for an hour, by the end, it felt like my legs were not attached to my body.

Anyway, I have had to made my socks off to get this other card made for my colleague. This one is also for her son, but this time it is for the daughter to get to her brother. The digital stamp I have used is called My Cute Rottweiler from The Paper Shelter and it has been coloured using Copics and ProMarkers.

The Wednesday before Christmas and I have a day off from the mania at work. The bulk stock is just starting to hit the store, so it has been all hands on deck to just it onto the shelves. I'm not looking forward to Thursday and Friday, if it's anything like past years, we won't be able to move.

Anyway, this card is for an order from a colleague at work. I wasn't happy with the original card that I made and decided to do another. It is for her son, who will be 15 on Christmas Day and we decided that as he had just taken up Archery, that would be a good theme.

Well last night was all about the die cutting and today has been all about the sticking. These cards are very clean and simple, but I have had so many orders this year that I have run out of time for my own cards.

I finally got round to putting up my new bed yesterday. It looks so nice and the mattress is really thick with a memory foam top on it. I set two alarms last night just in case I got so comfortable that I slept through it. How wrong was I, I hardly slept at all and this morning my back and arm were playing up more then usual. I only hope it's because I'm not use to the mattress yet.

Anyway, my card tonight is the last one of a big order from a colleague at work. The digital stamp is called Frosty Penguins from Polkadoodles and it has been coloured using Copics and ProMarkers.

About Me

Hi, I am a 43 year old single parent to Tyler who is 16. I have lived in Sittingbourne, Kent all of my life.

Currently I work full time for my local Asda as a Section Leader, but in my share time I like to make cards.

I have been crafting on and off for many years, I remember my Grandmother teaching me to knit at a very early age. I have also had a phase of completing cross stitch kits, but currently my passion is for paper and cards.

In my early 20s I trained and worked as a graphic designer and I think this has help with my crafting.
